Coach Talk

Rush More
You know what, Rush More, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (the Seattle Seahawks defense), while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we're toast.

Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catchers (one WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 11 targets in Week 14. With just five total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
